Insights

Corporate credit and capital structure analyst

Orion replaces its prior facility with a larger, secured $120M credit package.

Orion Group Holdings has arranged a new $120.0 million credit facility that combines a revolving line, an equipment term loan and an acquisition term loan, all maturing in December 2030. The structure, including a $60.0 million revolver and dedicated acquisition and equipment tranches, gives labeled pools of debt for working capital, fleet needs and deal-making.

The loans are guaranteed by domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all domestic assets, which is typical for an asset-based arrangement and helps support lender commitments. The company also negotiated a $25.0 million accordion to fund potential future acquisitions, subject to conditions such as additional lender commitments and timing relative to the acquisition loan maturity.

The same day, Orion terminated its May 15, 2023 credit agreement with White Oak affiliates, fully repaid it and incurred a $1.1 million make whole payment. Overall, this is a significant refinancing and capital structure update, but the net impact on leverage, pricing and flexibility would depend on detailed terms set out in the full credit agreement.
